The International Day of the LumberJock

oh yah.. oh yah… “Celebrate; Celebrate; Dance to the music” :)

Think its time us lumberjocks got our own Budlite commercial.

“Heres to da man who boldly risk personal fortune and body appendages… To take a felled tree from the wilderness and miraculously fashion a napkin holder for the missus….Or a baby crib that finally gets finished when the child starts school…Yes…It is you Mr Lumberjock felled tree magazine rack maker….”

Heehee

I see a video coming!!! :)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Picnic!!!! Hmmm, burgers or brats??? (I’ll pass on the Sam & Ella’s Potato Salad) :)

-- Rick, Michigan, rick.blodgettoil.com

Debbie, they wouldn’t like to see ME dance! That would be a very interesting video! “The World’s Funniest video”!

I could, however get into a good burger! Can’t have a picnic with out some good desserts! With a crowd like we’d have, we wouldn’t want any beans, would we?

Miles, Great idea, I can envision “LumberJocks” T-Shirts in a Bud Light Commercial next Super Bowl! Maybe Frank could write the script(?).

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

Picnic would be a great Idea. Lets bring it on.

I don’t have a LJ t-shirt yet (I’ll be sure to get one for the picnic) and I’m not going anywhere today so I can’t do any promotions.. But here I am writing my weekly article for the local newspaper—in which I am slipping in a bit about the LJ Day and the Awards event:)

Happy International Day of the LumberJock everyone :D

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

I don’t have a lumberjocks Shirt either. All my money goes for sticks, or tools or shop improvements. Maybe one day I’ll win one.

one never knows. There seems to be a lot of t-shirt prizes here at LJ.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Debbie it must still be a little cool, or is the hat a mosquito repeller?

I’m sorry, but my T-shirt is in the wash.
I hope this will do.
Happy International Day of the LumberJock !!

Congratulations Martin for everything, God Bless you friend you have made the world a better place. Just like Mother Theresa. Jockmike

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE LUMBERJACK!

-- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

hey… never thought of it as a mosquito repellent. I’d go try it out if it wasn’t going to hit 31 C ++ today.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

So…WHO IS THE 1000th LJ??? Should she (or he) be adourned with some special honor—-like a free shirt? (and maybe one for the guy suggesting this?) At my picnic—-WINE OF COURSE…and maybe some Grey POOPon…

ANd how funny—-I am building a PICNIC TABLE this week!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Martin!!!!!!! 1000 LJ’s…I almost sent out a question earlier this week—-”Who will be #1000?” But i forgot…

Great site…great ideas—-most importantly…great people/community…

I AM BUYING MY LJ SHIRT TODAY just to celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!

Shirt purchased…!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Thanks everyone for making this site what it is. I will be sharing it with all my friends at our picnic.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE LUMBERJOCK!

-- Ron, Twain Harte, Ca. Portable on site Sawmill Service http://westcoastlands.net/Sawmill.html http://westcoastlands.net/SawBucks2/phpBB3 http://www.portablesawmill.biz/concrete/

Ok…I bought a shirt too….I make a pretty good billboard so be prepared for quickly reaching 2000.

Congrats Martin!

Thanks for the friendship and encouragement all!

-- Bob, Carver Massachusetts, Sawdust Maker http://www.capecodbaychallenge.org

Congratulations Martin! A big milestone is reached. Well done.

Bob, that gives me an idea for one of Martin’s next shirts. It is a countdown type, with the milestone crossed off each time a new one is made. The first one could be 500 crossed out, and then show 1000 Lumberjocks and growing. After you advertise a bit, the 1000 would be crossed out and 2000 be the next one. Kind of like the markdown stickers in reverse…

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

cool idea Bill!

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Just ordered the shirts – it took over an hour and 7 international telephone calls (thanks to SKYPE) but we got ther eventually. I can wear one for the picnic.

Anybody know the “Monty Python” sketch – I’m a Lumber Jock and and I’ ok ???

Miles125, I like the bud commercial. LOL. Congratulations, LumberJocks on our first official holiday!

-- Jesus is Lord!

I sleep all night and I work all day :)

you just have to love that song.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Spooky. I managed to get the day off work to do some work around the house.

After I cleaned up I reached into the closet for a shirt and what did my fingers touch . . . my brand new black DeWalt T-shirt that I have had for months but did not wear it. I am actually wearing it now.

Weird ?!

Dick . . . I love your pic. LOL

Well I’ve been making sawdust all day, Didn’t go anywhere so Didn’t get my Trusty LJ shirt dirty. I’ll wear it tomorrow to the toy making workshop.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE LUMBERJOCK!

I gots a yellar t-shirt, I do.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE LUMBERJOCK, y’all

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

Got me a shirt coming!

-- miles125, Alabama.."Architecture is frozen music""

me too

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Do they have LumberJocks shorts or pants? Have to have a place to hang tools….maybe a LumberJocks Tool belt??

I’ll see if Jonesville Tent and Awning can make something up for me in shorts….

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

P.J. you can start a new trend!
“LJ Shorts” – a must have for every summer

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Too many mosquitoes!!!

-- Tony - All things are possible, just some things are more difficult than others! - SKYPE: Heron2005 (http://www.poydatjatuolit.fi)

Not in the “south” Tony and Debbie. The deep south of Southern Indiana!

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

you don’t have mosquitoes down there??

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

We have these pesky little things about twice the size of a flea, we call them mosquitoes, they are more of an annoyance, at lease to me anyway….They bother my wife a lot more than me. But, up in Michigan and Canada you have these “bird sized” mosquitoes. Dive bombers! Guess I’m just not sweet like you are(?).

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

we breed them here – and I feed them every day :)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

What about lumberjock suspenders and we market em as “jock straps”? hehe
I asked an old guy i used to work with why he wore suspenders all the time. He said “have you ever tried to put a belt on a funnel?”Lol

LumberJocks shop aprons would be cool.

-- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov

Good one Miles…I don’t care who you are, that’s funny!!!

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

Wayne, you can find the BBQ Apron here

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

That is too pretty to wear in the shop.

: ^ )

-- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov

Martin…Do they make that apron in a “lumber” color or maybe a grey? Some other color?

White doesn’t stay “white” too long around a shop or a barbeque.

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

nope.. Printfection (our print on demand vendor) currently offers aprons only in white color. But you can make them naturally dirty ;)

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

No problem there Martin! Not for me anyway.

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

yah.. do some deliberate staining/painting/gluing…. making artistic design and then all the “doh” stains will just add to your creative touch :D

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

We could show this in a blog Debbie! Creative talent abounds on this site.

For me it would have to be deliberate…It comes natural for me….to be messy.

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

lol :)

“signature” apron—might be worth millions in years to come.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

You could call it an Andy Warhol signature collectors item.

No thanks to wearing a t-shirt or a picnic in the middle of the winter….
